Brake mount position ?

[Hump66]

If I only shoot suppressed, does the clock position of the brake mount matter? I ask because I got an IWC mount for a light and it's a close fit to the release tab on my can. If I can clock it slightly further, it will make it easier to take on and off for cleaning the weapon. It's an AAC M4-2k with the 51t brake if it matters.

I wouldn't think it would matter as far as the suppressor is concerned. Would only be an issue when the suppressor is off and even then only if you we're shooting prone (blast going down would kick up dirt/debris).

Can on it doesn't matter. Will work fine with can off too. Will just shoot blast in directions you might not want.
